Data werecollected using Media Literacy Level Determination Scale developed by Karatas (2008).Open-ended questions that aimed to reveal students’ perceptions of media literacy wereasked with a view to supporting the data obtained from the scale. Both data collection toolsalso aimed to find out the factors associated with media literacy. The findings of the studyare believed to open a perspective for the stakeholders in language teaching process byproviding insight into the university students’ stance towards media literacy.
